To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of his novel, A Mystery of New Orleans (1891), Dr. Garth Wilkinson, of London, says : "Dr. Holcombe has given us a masterpiece of fiction. This book is an achievement for the English-speaking peoples, and sooner or later must go round the world. " His latest and posthumous work, The Truth about Homoeopathy, is a valuable contribution to professional liter- ature. Dr. Holcombe died in New Orleans, November 28, 1893. ] THOR, the Scandinavian hero, once had three tasks assigned him, which, gloryin...g in his strength, he regarded with contempt. He was to drain a tankard of water, to wrestle with an old woman, and to race with Loke, the runner. He failed in all three. He could not drain the tankard, he could not throw the old woman, he could not eclipse the racer. " What illusions are these ? " indignantly said Thor. The tankard of Avater was the ocean. Who can exhaust it ? The old woman was Time. Who can contend with it ? Loke, the runner, was Thought. Who can outstrip it ?
Thus our ancestors, the old Norsemen, taught the great transcen- dental truth, almost forgotten by their descendants, that the evidence of the senses is not to be trusted, and the profoundest mysteries lie concealed under the simplest things.
